ARCH AUR has already been updated but for some reason it hasn't hit my specific repo server yet. Guess it takes time.

If games use vulkan then it kinda makes it real easy to port to Linux/Mac/Switch/PS4++ The only platform I know of atm that has a issue with vulkan is the xbox.... does it support vulkan? pretty sure they blacklisted it!

I'm actually using antergos xfce atm, but its still arch based.

Someone should just take lgogdownloader and turn it into a GUI for Linux like GOG Galaxy, that would be pretty funny and awesome at the same time.

Sounds like maybe a config issue, enable debug mode and turn on your terminal console in the configure section of launcher icon.

Why not Farcry 4 or 5? I don't have those so can't test them. Many people have told me FarCry5 is crap... so I have no clue.

Shame GOG Galaxy doesn't allow you to pic the OS of the game, last time I tried it you couldn't install Linux titles through it. Has that changed?

Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation inches closer to a Linux release with Vulkan

There are more Vulkan PC games atm then DX12. The real issue is developers being fixated on DX11 and refusing to move to Vulkan, even if there is a path to do so.

DX11 is likely to be the longest used and runner directx version of all pc history. We could be using it still in 10 years time. Developers just refuse to change.

Quoting: TcheyIt's funny, just before this article i bought it and tried to launch the game via Steam Proton, with different options based on other Linux users. Failed. Refunded.
Proton requires specific NTFS partition flags (if you intend to use it for storing your windows proton games), and open files settings otherwise MANY games will fail load. Some are fine without those things but its pretty critical and in the documentation, steam has yet to apply those settings for gamers.... probably why many people can't run stuff outside of whitelisted stuff.

I do have this also,

I'd be more into a coop survival experience then PvP, this game was going to have a 4 player or so coop campaign that spanned the galaxy and had recruitment/jobs/skills if I remember correctly. It's a shame they didn't follow that original vision. (they went full PvP to start with, but people lost interest and they lost money).
